Delighted to hear this! I’m working towards purging as many applications as I can that are hosted on GitHub and ffmpeg is one I use regularly.
Ditching a tool for another one because of where the source code is currently stored on? That sounds a little like the people’s liberation army vs. the the liberation front of the people.
I mean, you do you, but please try not to use that as an argument when discussing open source in a general audience.
I don’t think the general move over to free-er software and less silos is supported by this kind of more outlandish zealotism.
It sounds like they are going to be ripping out a few components from their operating system too. Strange.
Splitter!
Excellent!
Does it mean they will be self hosting it?
Does it alsoean to write a bug report or a fix, I red a new account?
Yes they are self-hosting forgejo the software behind codeberg, for now yes you need an account but forgejo is slowly implementing federation via forgefed like lemmy https://codeberg.org/forgejo-contrib/federation/src/branch/main/FederationRoadmap.md
Forgejo supports SSO, and from a quick skim of the diff it looks like they support GitHub and OpenID logins.
Still way more annoying than Github. Still, they apparently are moving from an existing mailing list /
git send-email“solution”, so it is at least a huge step in the right direction.If they’re philosophically against Github I don’t know why they didn’t just move to Codeberg though. Maybe that’s too modern for people who have only just moved on from mailing lists.
Codeberg is just hosted forgejo why are you discouraging self-hosting? Using codeberg has nothing to do with modern they use the same server software.
Because if you already have a Codeberg account you don’t need to create another account to contribute.
Forgejo is implementing federation via forgefed making an account until then is not that hard when you use a password manager also you can log in with your preferred OpenID provider.
Ah that sounds cool for the future at least.
